The DFL says that the Minnesota GOP failed to elect ten alternate presidential electors at their state convention. Instead of properly fixing the mistake, the Republicans allegedly chose electors in a closed-door meeting rather than elect them.

Trump-Pence is a ticket designed to agitate against civility, global citizenship, altruism, and dignity for all. The agitation is deliberate. If Trump mouthed off in most work places the way he does at rallies, he would be fired in most of those work places. Pence, although he looks halfway approachable next to Trump, is in many ways worse. It's a ticket designed to polarize.
Trump-Pence being off the ballot in Minnesota would be a pretty good thing. Go, Gophers.

(21,506 posts)Hey look trump said they were going to cheat and there they are trying to get him thrown off the ballot.
No positive outcome with this. He certainly is not going to be removed from the ballot.

And it will be in the public record.
